13 Liang uprisings

However, it is said that Xiang Liang is a subordinate person, and his father is Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu. During the Warring States period, the Qin soldiers attacked Chu, but Xiang Yan was defeated by the enemy and was killed by the Qin general Wang Qian. Xiang's family is a Chu general, Qin has destroyed Chu, Xiang Liang is a cloth cloth, and often thinks about revenge for his father, but he has not been able to get it.

Xiang Liang has a nephew's name and the word feather. lost his father when he was young, lived by Xiang Liang, and was dissolute and uninhibited. Xiang Liang tried to study his books, and after a long time, he asked about his studies, but there were no results.

Xiang Liang thought to himself: "My family has been a generalist for generations, and the nature of the son of Jiangmen is not very related to Wenmo, so it is better to teach him martial arts, or it is easy to achieve, and it will not degenerate the family style." So he gave up his book and learned swords, and he studied for a while, but he didn't make much progress. Xiang Liang was furious, so he summoned Xiang Ji to the front and said, "You are not young anymore, but you are lazy to study all day long." Wen is neither martial nor sufficient, how can he be self-reliant when he grows up in the future?! Xiang Ji said: "It's not that my nephew is unwilling to work hard, as long as he can remember his name when he learns books." Even if you are skilled in learning swords, you can only have one enemy. These two things are futile and useless. The nephew wants to learn to be the enemy of all people. Xiang Liang saw that Xiang Ji was extraordinary, so he said: "Since this is the case, I will teach you the art of war." Xiang was overjoyed, and since then he has followed his uncle to learn the art of war. Who knew that he was impatient, and he was happy for a while. So at first, I listened attentively, but later I probably put it aside when I learned how to use soldiers, and I didn't want to learn to the end. Xiang Liang knew that his nature was like this, so he had to let him.

Later, Xiang Liang killed someone because of an incident and was uninhabitable, so he took Xiang Ji to avoid Wuzhong. Xiang Liang lived in Wuzhong for a while, and got acquainted with a group of famous local people. People saw that Xiang Liang was outstanding in learning and capable in doing things, and they were very respectful. Whenever there is a local work, or a rich and noble family is at a funeral, Xiang Liang is invited to host. Xiang Liang pre-set the regulations, distributed them to everyone, and secretly used the art of war to control them, so that everyone was afraid of them. The things are done in an orderly manner, and the people of a county are called talents.

At this time, Xiang Jinian was already weak, born burly and majestic, eight feet two inches long, capable of lifting the crown, and talented. The young people in Wuzhong were also afraid. Xiang Liang saw that the hearts of the people were attached, and he had a brave nephew to assist him, so he wanted to make trouble. Ninety dead men were secretly adopted, and one of them was named "the tallest one", and his arms were so strong that he could pull up trees and hold them in his hands, and struck the ground with all his might; There is another person named "Sammu", who is full of wisdom and strategy, and Xiang Liang often consults with him. Xiangliang of the Ginseng Wood Sect cleaned up a secret room, pretended to be recuperating, hid in it to privately mint a lot of money, and prepared armor for the opportunity.

One day, I suddenly heard that Qin Shi Huang traveled east to Huiji County and would cross Zhejiang. Local ladies and gentlemen rushed to watch. Although Xiang Liang had the ambition to take revenge, he didn't dare to start because of the poor arrangement, and he also wanted to see what shape the first emperor was. So he took the same item with him. Xiang Ji saw that the emperor was very powerful, so he pointed at Qin Shi Huang and said to Xiang Liang: "He can replace him." Xiang Liang was shocked! Fearing that others would hear about the trouble, he hurriedly covered his hand in the mouth of Xiang Ji and shouted: "Don't mess around, punish the three clans!" Xiang Liang attached more importance to Xiang Ji and knew that his nephew would be extraordinary in the future, so he became more anxious to change.

A year later came the first year of the Second Dynasty. At that time, Chen Sheng raised troops to occupy Chen County, and the Quartet responded. When Xiang Liang heard about it, he wanted to take the opportunity to do something. Who knew that Huiji County Shou Yintong also wanted to be independent from the county, so he sent someone to invite Xiang Liang to discuss. Xiang Liang didn't know what the county guard had called him, so he had to go to see him. Yin Tong informed himself of his opinion. Xiang Liang was very happy when he heard this. I thought to myself, "I'm running out of chance, and now this deal is being delivered to my door, what a coincidence!" Then he agreed: "Now that Jiangxi is all in rebellion, this is the time when the heavens are dying of Qin." I heard that 'preemptively; The latter is made by people', the opportunity cannot be missed, and Wang Minggong immediately raised troops. Yin Tong sighed: "I also plan to do this." However, there must be generals to raise troops, and as the old saying goes, 'a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find'. I have been relying on my feet for a long time to be a general, and now there is only one person who can command the army, dare to ask my feet to help me? Xiang Liang said enthusiastically: "If Meng Minggong does not give up, he is willing to serve." But I am afraid that I am not up to the task, and I am willing to raise one person to help. Yin Daodao: "If there is someone at the bottom of the best, may I ask their name?" Xiang Liang said: "There is a strange man surnamed Huan and Chu in Wuzhong, and now he is in the middle of the outlaw, no one knows his whereabouts, but his nephew Xiang Ji knows it." It's better to make the item go to the call, if this person is willing to come, it will be easy! Yin Tong agreed.

Xiang Liang went home and instructed Xiang Ji to bring his sword to the house and wait outside first. Xiang Liang went straight to the inner government to meet Yin Tong, and presented plans for military training, raising salaries, and appeasing the subordinate counties. Yin Tong saw that Xiang Liang was really helpful, and pointed out that Chen's method was deeply suitable and very respectful. I think that I will succeed in winning people. The two talked about it, and Yin Tong immediately sent someone to pass on the Xiang register. Yin Tong saw that Xiang Ji's torso was majestic and rough in appearance, and he liked it very much, so he said to Xiang Liang: "What a strong man, he is really worthy of Xiang Junling's nephew." Xiang Liang smiled and said: "How can a stupid man win the award." Yin Tong ordered Xiang Ji to summon Huan Chu, Xiang Ji suddenly pulled out the sword hidden in his arms and said to Yin Tong: "I am different from you!" My grandfather Xiang Yan was once killed by Qin, and he had a grudge against Qin. You eat Qin Lu as the county guard of Huiji, but this rebellion and disloyalty are very much! I will kill you today and think that the unfaithful will be receptive. After speaking, he drew his sword and slashed at Yin Tong, and his body fell to the ground with the sword. Yin Tong was inexplicable until he died.

Xiang Liang held Yin Tong's head in his hand, and took the county guard seal and wore it on his body.

At this time, there was a great chaos in the house, and many military servants rushed in with weapons, but Xiang Ji was very brave, and the sword was like cutting vegetables, and the head of the person who was close to him fell. Nearly 100 people were killed, and the rest scattered and fled. Xiang Liang raised his head and shouted: "Yin Tong's betrayal of Qin is not enough to guard the county, and he has been killed now." If you are not satisfied, take this as an order. The guards and officials were all frightened, and the people in the house did not dare to resist anymore. Xiang Liang then summoned the officials of the prefecture and the local famous people to inform everyone of his army.

From time to time, the second tooth generals Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu went to the court and said: "Enter its state, kill its master, take it and stand on your own, it is not righteous." He said: "In Yintong as a traitor, in Xiang Gong as a righteous lord, borrowing Qin land to avenge Chu, the great wisdom of the world." If the general is willing to obey, after the tyrannical Qin is defeated to recover the six countries, the immortal merit of the famous bamboo silk is also famous, why should he think of Yin Tong as a mere mere one? The second general bowed down and said, "I am willing to command from the general." Xiang Liang then rode with two generals.

So Xiang Liang took the county town of Huiji, proclaimed himself a general, and took Xiang Ji as a general. On the one hand, he sent people to transfer the troops of each subordinate county by different routes, and obtained 8,000 elite soldiers. The local heroes were selected to serve as school captains and Simas. There was a person who was conceited that he could not appoint Xiang Liang, so he asked Xiang Liang himself. Xiang Liang said: "I don't forget my step, just because I encountered a certain family funeral on a certain year, month and day, and I ordered my foot to handle something, but I can't do it with my step, so I don't need it today." As soon as the people thought that this was the case, they left without saying a word. Everyone obeys Xiang Liang's wisdom and employs people. Xiang Liang also ordered Xiang Ji to go to Zhao'an County.

Xiang Ji is twenty years old, and he is the leader of 8,000 children, which shows more and more majesty. His expression is called Ziyu, because of the double name of the fall, minus a word, leaving only the word feather, he is called Xiang Yu, others also call him Xiang Yu, so it has been passed down from ancient to modern.

One day, Ji Bu and Zhong Lifu said: "Concerted efforts are enough to make a plan, and they will be enough to make meritorious contributions. There are two generals in the mountains of Jitu today, namely Huan Chu and Yu Ying, who command 8,000 elite soldiers, gather in the mountains and forests, and have the courage of ten thousand people. If you get these two generals, you can help. Xiang Liang then sent Xiang Yu to recruit the second general.

Xiang Yu and Ji Bu went to Tushan, and Huan Chu and Yu Ying invited Xiang Yu and Ji Bu to meet. Xiang Yu said: "Fang Jin II has no way, heroes rise together, and the world wants to punish this tyrannical Qin to relieve the misery of the people." The second general should eliminate harm for the world, but why lurk in the mountains and forests and bury the famous hills and ravines, and all the princes in the world laugh at the general for being cowardly? Xiang Yu gathered tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Xiang Gong to discuss the invasion of Qin, wanting to avenge the Six Kingdoms and eliminate this cruelty. The name of General Yang has been around for a long time, and when you come to Chen to say righteousness, please go down the mountain and work together to cut down Qin, such as after becoming a king, you will be rich and noble. Huan Chu said: "Although Qin has no way, but the power is very strong, it is not a hero of the world, and it is not enough to be an enemy." The public wants to do justice today, but I am afraid that the power is not enough. I am willing to test its strength, and if it is capable of defeating ten thousand people, the two of us will follow it. Xiang Yu said: "With the general's competition, my strength is enough to deserve it." Huan Chu said: "There is a tripod in front of the Yuwang Temple under the mountain, I don't know how many thousand catties, the public can lift it, it can be described as invincible." Xiang Yu said: "I wish to look at it." "Accompanied by the second general and many small schools to the Yuwang Temple. When you look at the ding, it is seven feet high, five feet in circumference, and about 5,000 catties. Xiang Yunai dragged his clothes forward, inserted his hands under his feet, tried his best to raise his body, walked around the hall three times in a row, his face did not change his face and did not breathe, he still gently settled in place, and looked at the second general and said: "Why do you think it is?" The second general hugged forward and said, "The gods of Truth are also!" We are willing to follow the whipping. Many small colonels bowed to the ground and shouted: "The public is an extraordinary person, rare in ancient times." The second general then invited Xiang Yu and his party to enter the village to buy wine and extend the payment, and the next day led the people and horses down the mountain together.

In the middle of the journey, a group of people suddenly galloped away in panic. Xiang Yu stepped forward and asked, "Why did you and the other residents flee?" Everyone said: "There is a black dragon in the ocean of Tushan that suddenly turns into a horse, and roars in Nanfu Village every day, and the people can't stop it." Hearing that the general's soldiers are coming, please eliminate harm for the people. Xiang Yu walked to Daze with Huan Chu and the others, only to see the horse roaring and rising in front of him, and his potential was like a bite. Xiang Yu pulled his coat forward, grabbed the horse's mane, got straight on the horse, galloped around the edge of Ze more than ten times, and the horse sweated weakly and jumped back. The residents of Luo Bai were willing to ask for a big name in front of him, and Xiang Yu said: "After a certain Chu general Xiang Yan, the surname Xiang Yan was surnamed Yu, and he raised a volunteer army to attack Qin, because he recruited troops to this point." An old man leaned forward and said: "I have heard the name of the general for a long time, and I dare to hope that the people will be temporarily stationed, and the general will come to Xiaozhuang to worship tea." Xiang Yu then entered the village with Hengchu and his entourage, after the ceremony, the old man diligently entered the wine, Xiang Yu asked: "The virtuous prince has never known the big name, but he is loved like this!" The old man said: "A certain surname is Yu, ranking first, and people call a certain Yu Yigong." Dare to ask the general how young he is? Xiang Yu said: "Twenty-four years old. Yu Gong said: "Does the general have a family?" Xiang Yu said: "I haven't chosen a match yet." Gong said: "A certain old man who has no children and gives birth to a daughter, who is intelligent and quiet, who does not laugh and reads since childhood, and understands righteousness." When his mother was born, he dreamed of five phoenixes in the room, knowing that he would be expensive when he grew up. Although there are children of wealthy families in the village, they are all stupid and not worthy of it. Only when he saw that the general could carry the brave enemy of 10,000 people, and advocated the volunteers to be in the world, he was also a hero of the world. I would like to be matched with a little girl. Xiang Yu thanked him again. The public called Yu Ji to come out, and Lan Zihui was really beautiful. Xiang Yu relieved himself of the sword he was wearing, and was afraid of harassment by men and horses, so he gave the order to set off.

When Xiang Liang looked at the two generals, the male soldiers corrected the martial arts, and the eight thousand children led by them were all elite people. And he led the horses that had fallen down into the hall. The horse is six feet high, one zhang long, a real dragon horse, Xiang Yu is named Wuqi, and Xiang Yu said it again with Yu Ji Xu Match. Xiang Liang was overjoyed and said: "Since the beginning of the army, Yu has recruited death and rebellion, and the people's hearts are obedient, so it is not difficult to plan for the world." A few days later, Xiang Liang sent someone to marry Yu Ji and return to Huiji, married Xiang Yu, and Yu Ji's cousin Yu Ziqi followed the army to listen to it.

Xiang Liang did not know that Chen Sheng was dead, so in the first month of the second year of the second year, Xiang Liang led 8,000 children from Jiangdong to cross the Jiangxi River.

However, it is said that Chen Ying is the history of Dongyang Ling, and he is honest, and every county is called Changhou. This time, the people of Dongyang killed the county order, gathered thousands of people, and wanted to push one person as the master. But there are so many people who have started the incident, and their status is on the same level, so I don't know who should be appointed? Quarrel with each other. Finally, someone proposed: "Please put someone other than the person who started the incident, so that we can stop the emergency." "The crowd agreed. However, the person to be promoted must have a good reputation and be convinced by the public in order to be competent. So some people thought of Chen Ying, and everyone agreed. So he sent someone to Chen Ying's house to invite him. Chen Yingfang closed the door and guarded himself, and suddenly saw many people coming, and he was taken aback for some reason. Later, when he heard that everyone pushed him as the master, Chen Ying thanked him again and again. Everyone was stubborn, regardless of whether Chen Ying was willing or not, and embraced him to the army to establish himself as the main one. Chen Ying had no choice but to admit it. When this letter spread to the outside world, the people heard that Chen Ying was the main one, and because he believed in righteousness, there were 20,000 followers at one time. Then he occupied Dongyang to recruit troops and horses, and the momentum grew. Everyone also recommended Chen Ying as the king, and the monopoly party did not unite with other places. Chen Ying also felt excited. I want to agree, but I am worried or I will not be able to make a fortune and suffer disaster. wants to resign, but is reluctant to take the throne. He hesitated, and went in to counsel with his mother.

After hearing this, his mother sighed and said, "You have no deep experience, and you are not sure what will happen to you. You must know that the king of a country is not easy to do! The first is to subdue the people by virtue of the door. Since I am the wife of your family, I have never heard of you having produced a noble person, so the word 'door' goes without saying. Secondly, you must also be able to stand out in order to protect one side. It seems that you are usually restrained, the bureau can not be carried out, and the current situation is eventful, and you should change the non-director at the opportunity. It seems to me that if you suddenly claim to be a king and enjoy a high position, not only will you not be blessed, but you will bring much evil. Why bother to make such delusions, I plan for you now, it is better to rely on others, and you can get the reward of the marquis if you succeed; If you fail, you will not be named by the world, this is a safe way. Chen Ying was taught by her mother not to be king. Then he said to the generals, "Whoever does great things must win souls from the Lord." I heard that Xiang Liang is the son of Xiang Yan, and the Xiang family has contributed to Chu for generations, and the people are convinced. Now Xiang Liang has set Jiangdong, and the troops will arrive soon. It's better for my generation to lead the crowd to go to the like-minded, relying on its prestige will definitely destroy Qin, I don't know what everyone's opinion is? There was no objection from the crowd. Chen Ying then led his subordinates down to invest in the beam. Xiang Liang was overjoyed, so he crossed the Huaishui with his troops, and met Yingbu to lead the troops to return.

Yingbu is a native of the six counties, when he was a young man, he met a good-looking person, and when he saw Yingbu's appearance, he said: "You should be punished first, and then you will be king." As soon as Yingbu heard this, he changed his surname to respond. When he was in the prime of life, he really broke the law. Yingbu remembered the words of the Xiangshi and said with a smile: "I have been punished now, and the matter of being the king is not far away!" When others heard this, they thought they were laughing. After receiving the throne, Yingbu was sent to Lishan to work.

There are no less than hundreds of thousands of workers in Lishan, and Yingbu has made friends with its leaders and heroes. The overseer took a little careless, and led a group of people to flee into the river as thieves. Later, when he heard that Chen Sheng was in trouble, he also wanted to respond to him, but he did not go because of the small number of troops. Poyang made Wu Rui very popular with the people of the rivers and lakes, known as "Pojun", seeing Yingbu's bravery, he also raised troops with him, and married him as a woman.

Yingbu gathered thousands of troops to defeat the Qin soldiers, and traveled all the way east, hearing that Xiang Liang's fame was similar. Xiang Liang added troops and increased generals along the way, and there were 60,000 or 70,000 people in Xiapi.

At this time, Tanma reported: "Lingren Qin Jiajin established Jingju as the king of Chu, garrisoned the east of Pengcheng, and wanted to reject our soldiers. Xiang Liang heard the report and said to the generals: "King Chen was the first to get into trouble, and he was recently defeated by the Qin soldiers, and his whereabouts are not known. Now Qin Jia dared to betray King Chen and set up Jingju without permission, which was a big rebellion! It is advisable to attack it. The generals were ordered to advance bravely, Qin Jia was defeated and died in battle, and the whole army surrendered. Jingju fled to Liangdi and was killed. Xiang Liang destroyed Qin Jia and led troops to Xue to station, with more than 100,000 people. was discussing the march to attack Qin, and suddenly reported: "Pei Gong Liu Bang led more than 100 people to the meeting." ”
